A translation of "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.
July 15th-21st, 2019
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
The Daishonin teaches us,
"Only by defeating a powerful enemy
can one prove one's real strength."*
It's through our wholehearted devotion,
based on the Daishonin's spirit,
to the development
of a peaceful and prosperous society
that the strength to transform
our karma pervades forth from within.
Let's push forwards and yet again forwards,
with our precious fellow members
so we have no regrets!
(*)"Letter from Sado," WND-1, p. 302

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If you want to understand the causes that existed in the past, look at the results as they are manifested in the present. And if you want to understand what results will be manifested in the future, look at the causes that exist in the present."
(The Opening of the Eyes
- WND, Vol. 1, page 279)
